Read file serialized with CArchive (MFC)
-
Hello,
I need to read files containing data serialized with CArchive (from MFC). The data are only standard C types (bool, int, float, double). I am wondering if it is possible to read that kind of file with Qt, using QDataStream.
I haven't found anything on the web, but I'm not sure CArchive and QDataStream are compatible... Do you know if there is a way to read, from a Qt project, data saved with CArchive on a MFC project? Or do you know if there is a workaround for this?Thank you and regards,
Emmanuel

Hi,
No they are not. QDataStream uses it's own serialization format which has nothing to do with CArchive.

Unfortunately for you, https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44993079/reading-a-serialized-binary-file-generated-by-carchive-mfc-in-python asks the same question but got no takers, which is probably indicative, you'll have to write your own.
